Hi all,
I've been a lurker here for a while, but never had need to post until now. I'm very grateful for all the info and advice I've gathered in the past however.
Unfortunately I now have a problem that I can't find a solution to.
I parked my car at home last night and I'd had a normal drive home, nothing out of the ordinary. Got to it this morning and it wouldn't start. On start button press it does the normal checks, the needles do thier wizzy thing, I put my foot on the clutch, the light turns green, I press the button, and then all of the electrics flash with a rapid clicking noise and the engine doesn't even attempt to turn over. All of the lights flash on the instrument binnacle and the lights flash on the area below the centre console with the screen and CD changer slot where it shows the airbags etc.
Once I give up and turn it off the other things in the car seem to work normally (edited for clarity following normski's reply). I don't get any error messages on the display, and the warning lights seem to do what they normally do.
All other similar problems seem to be battery related, and I would try a jump start, but with the car parked on a main road and the neighbours cars on either side I can't get another car in to jump from.
Anyone else experienced this or have any advice?
